3. After adjustment and while wearing heavy duty work
gloves, move the saw chain back and forth on the guide
bar to be sure the chain moves freely and is in proper
mesh with sprocket. Do not move chain with bare
hands.
NOTE: IF the chain is difficult to rotate or if it binds on the
guide bar, too much tension has been applied and must be
adjusted. To decrease tension, turn the adjustment screw
counterclockwise slowly. Move the chain back and forth
until it moves freely.

bar retaining nuts (70 inch lbs.)

ger and slide the bracket onto the chain saw handle.
